Spring 2020 (March);
~ My Sisyphean Sanderson Challenge

I've known for a long time this was a short piece that won a Hugo earlier and I've been working my way toward these shorter pieces, between my vast novel reading through my challenge to read all Sanderson. It didn't disappoint in the slightest, of course (not that I had even a 5% doubt chancing that; Sanderson hasn't let me down in over 4o pieces now).

This is a delightful little story, told for the most part from inside a jail cell. I loved every bit of our plucky, wily heroine and the new magical system (of stamps, rewriting history, and the ability for it to work from solid objects to people). The ending surprise was a tiny touch predictable, but I'm finding that's true with a piece here and there in the first decade of Sanderson's work, but I'm glad it was in the way where it had me pumping my fist yes.
